Image recording Large, single-piece CMOS sensor with approx. 10.1-megapixels (=EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 400D DIGITAL)

The same 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor (Fig. 002) used in the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 400D DIGITAL is incorporated. With an image sensor size of 22.2 mm 14.8 mm, the eective angle of view is approx. 1.6 times the lens focal length.

Eective pixels.

DIGIC III=EOS-1D Mark III) While retaining the DIGIC II's features for ne image detail, natural colors, and high speed, the new DIGIC III imaging engine attains faster signal processing speed.

14-bit A/D conversion=EOS-1D Mark III) The analog output signal from the imaging element is converted into a digital signal with 14-bit (16384 colors) processing instead of the previous 12-bit (4096 colors). This creates digital data with ner gradation.

With RAW/sRAW images recorded with 14-bit processing, you can use DPP to post process and save the image as a 16-bit TIFF image. This brings out the maximum range of colors aorded by 14-bit processing. Also, since images recorded in JPEG (8 bits per color) are also generated from 14-bit RAW data, they have fewer blown highlights than before and the gradation is excellent.

Image-recording quality In addition to the image-recording quality modes provided by EOS 30D, the new small RAW is provided. Small RAW can also be recorded simultaneously with any JPEG recording quality (Fig. 003). Table 002 shows the pixels for the respective image-recording quality.

As with the EOS-1D Mark III, even if you open the CF card slot cover while data is being written to the CF card, the data writing still continues with the EOS 40D.

The recorded number of pixels is about one-fourth that of a normal RAW image, and the le size is about half the size of RAW.

ISO speed As with the EOS 30D, the ISO speed range is 100-1600, settable in 1/3-stop or whole-stop increments. ISO 3200 extension can also be set. The ISO speed is now always displayed in the viewnder and on the LCD panel.

Auto ISO speed enabled in Creative Zone modes With the EOS 40D, you can now set auto ISO speed

even in the Creative Zone modes (Fig. 004). When the ISO speed is set to [Auto], ISO 400 is initially set. Then depending on the lighting conditions, the ISO speed is set automatically as shown in Table 003. The automatically-set ISO speed is displayed in the viewnder and on the LCD panel while the metering is active.

In the Basic Zone modes, the automatically-set ISO speed range is 100-800 which is 1 stop higher on the high end than the EOS 30D.

High ISO speed noise reduction (C.Fn II-2) This is noise reduction for images taken at a

high ISO speed as in the EOS-1D Mark III. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly eective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the shadow areas is further reduced. Also, when [High ISO speed noise reduction] is set, the maximum burst during continuous shooting will decrease to 8, regardless of the image-recording quality.

Highlight tone priority (C.Fn II-3) (=EOS-1D Mark III) This function seeks to improve the highlight detail. The range is extended between 18% gray and the maximum highlight tone. This makes the gradation ner from the grays to the highlights and reduces blown highlights.

This function also limits the settable ISO speed range to 200-1600.

White balance The white balance settings are the same as the EOS 30D's. Only the color temperature ( ) as a preset WB is new (Fig. 008). The minimum color temperature has been lowered from 2800K to 2500K in order to cover tungsten light.

You can now register the personal white balance (1 setting) under < > with the provided software.

The WB correction and WB bracketing settings can now all be canceled with the INFO. button.

Automatic brightness and contrast correction In Basic Zone modes, the image is now adjusted automatically during processing to obtain the best brightness and contrast, due to the shooting results (brightness and contrast).

Compatible with external recording media (=EOS-1D Mark III) With the WFT-E3 attached to the camera and external recording media such as a portable hard drive attached via USB, the external media can be selected as the recording media.

Image recording function As with the EOS-1D Mark III, the image recording

can be set to [Standard], [Auto switch media], [Rec. separately], or [Rec. to multiple] (Fig. 009).

Shooting backup Images in the CF card can be backed up to

external media. Besides the quick backup feature also found in the EOS-1D Mark III, the folder to back up the images can be created or selected. Only checkmarked images can also be backed up (Fig. 010).

EOS Integrated Cleaning System (=EOS-1D Mark III) The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is the same type as in the EOS-1D Mark III (Fig. 011). The specications for acquiring and appending Dust Delete Data to the image are the same as with the EOS-1D Mark III.

Shooting functions Autofocus Nine cross-type AF points (center AF point sensitive to

vertical and horizontal lines at f/2.8). The newly-developed AF sensor (Fig. 012) with nine

cross-type AF points greatly boosts AF performance. The AF sensitivity is EV -0.5 - EV 18.

Nine cross-type AF points All AF points work as cross-type points at f/5.6. High-

precision AF is attained with fewer AF failures with hard-to-focus subjects.

First EOS with cross-type AF sensitive to f/2.8 The center AF point has a cross-type AF sensor sensitive to vertical and horizontal

lines at f/2.8. The f/2.8 sensor is a diagonal, cross-type sensor so that it does not obstruct the f/5.6 sensor positioned

vertically at the center.

Handles extreme defocus The sensor can handle extreme defocus. It can still focus even when the scene is

way out of focus.

AF Start button (=EOS-1D Mark III) Like the EOS-1D Mark III, the button is provided.

AF mode selection (=EOS 30D) Like the EOS 30D, the AF mode (One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, AI SERVO AF) is selectable

even in the Creative Zone modes.

AF point selection (=EOS 30D) Like the EOS 30D, you can use the Multi-controller or Main/Quick Control dial to

select the AF point while looking at the superimposed AF point in the viewnder or the LCD panel's AF point selection display.

Drive Continuous shooting speed at approx. 6.5 fps (maximum) and approx. 3 fps. The drive mode selection loop now includes 2-sec. self-timer.

The maximum burst during continuous shooting is approx. 75 Large/Fine shots and approx. 17 RAW shots (both during high-speed continuous shooting). Despite the higher number of megapixels due to the larger image size, continuous shooting is still fast.

Shutter (=EOS 30D) The shutter unit is the same as the EOS 30D's. The shutter speed range is 1/8000 sec. to 30 sec. with Bulb and X-sync at 1/250 sec.

Exposure control (=EOS 30D) The shooting modes, 35-zone metering sensor, and metering modes (evaluative, partial, spot, and center-weighted average) are all the same as the EOS 30D.

Viewnder Viewnder optics To make the viewnder clearer to see, 0.95x

magnication, 26.4 angle of view, and 22mm eyepoint are provided. (The EOS 30D's viewnder gave 0.9x magnication, 25.1 angle of view, and 20mm eyepoint.)

Focusing screen Interchangeable. Besides the standard focusing

screen, there is one to make it easier to see the point of focus and one with grid lines.

Viewnder display Besides the EOS 30D's viewnder's display items, the EOS 40D's viewnder display

now includes the ISO speed (always displayed) and B/W shooting icon. Also, the maximum burst is now displayed in 2 digits instead of only 1 digit.

Live View shooting mode Compared to the EOS-1D Mark III's Live View shooting mode, the following improvements have been incorporated:

Shorter shutter-release time lag and silent shooting mode

The EOS 40D's CMOS sensor has an electronic 1st-curtain shutter function. It enables shooting with the mechanical shutter completely open. As a result, the [Silent shoot.] (Fig. 014) Mode 1 and Mode 2 make the shutter-release time lag shorter and reduce the shutter-cocking noise.

With Mode 2, the shutter cocking does not occur after shutter release. It occurs only when the shutter button is SW-2 OFF. When the shot is taken, only the shutter curtains make noise so the shooting is quiet.

Live View shooting with EOS-1D Mark III had the shutter closing after the shutter release before the start of the exposure. This caused shutter-release time lag and shutter-cocking noise.

AF function (C.Fn III-6) Pressing the AF-ON button pauses the Live View shooting (reex mirror goes down)

and executes AF. Letting go of the AF-ON button resumes the Live View shooting. (C.Fn)

Flash The built-in ash unit is basically the same as the EOS 30D's. The EOS 30D's Custom Functions "Flash ring," "E-TTL II," and "Shutter curtain sync" have been consolidated into the menu's [Built-in ash func. setting] (Fig. 015).

Also, with the SPEEDLITE 580EX II, the camera can be used to set the SPEEDLITE 580EX II's settings as with the EOS-1D Mark III.

Compatible with EF-S lenses The camera is compatible with all EF lenses, including EF-S lenses.

Design and operation ease Design The camera design is based on the following three concepts:

New-generation design for advanced amateurs A revamping of the old EOS 20D-series design.

Joy of ergonomics The successive steps of holding the camera, framing the subject, turning a dial, and

pressing a button all feel good.

Joy of ownership Cool-looking camera, making you a proud owner. Key words: Heavy-duty, great design, nice shape, suited to adult tastes.

Operation ease Shooting functions are now assigned to three buttons above the LCD panel. Through these buttons, the most frequently-changed settings are now accessible near the Main Dial (Fig. 022). Similar to the EOS-1D Mark III, you use the Main Dial to change the ISO speed, AF mode, and metering mode. And you use the Quick Control Dial to change the ash exposure compensation, drive mode, and white balance.

Also, the menu operation method is now the same as with the EOS-1D Mark III. The camera operation method is being made uniform as much as possible among the professional and advanced amateur cameras.

Customization Register camera user settings The camera's shooting function settings and menu settings can be registered to the Mode Dial's C1, C2, or C3 (Fig. 023). Except for the date/time and other settings which need not be registered, almost all the camera settings can be registered.

Fig. 023 Register camera user settings

Custom Functions The 24 Custom Functions are categorized according to basic function make it faster to nd and set the desired Custom Function. (Fig. 024)

Flash Custom Functions With the SPEEDLITE 580EX II attached to the camera, you can set or cancel the Speedlite's Custom Function settings (C.Fn-0 to 13) with the camera (Fig. 025).

With an EX-series Speedlite other than the SPEEDLITE 580EX II, the camera cannot be used to set the Speedlite's Custom Functions.

My Menu (=EOS-1D Mark III) Like the EOS-1D Mark III, you can register up to six of the most frequently-set menu options and Custom Functions under My Menu.

Also, when [Display from My Menu: Enable] is set, pressing the Menu button will rst display the My Menu screen (tab).

You can also use EOS Utility to set My Menu and register it to the camera.

10 Power source and shooting performance The power source system is the same as the EOS 30D's with Battery Pack BP-511A. With a fully-charged battery pack, the number of possible shots without ash use is about 1100 shots at 23C/73F. With 50% ash use, it is about 800 shots. As with the EOS 30D, the date/time backup battery is the CR2016 lithium battery installed in the battery compartment. Detaching and attaching the battery compartment cover is now easier. You can pull it out or put it on at the slanted (45-degree) angle (Fig. 030).

1. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

This section focuses on the new technologies incorporated after the EOS 30D. The explanation of new features already incorporated in the EOS-1D Mark III will be cited in the EOS-1D Mark III "Service Manual." Normally, topics related to direct printing, direct image transfer, print ordering, interface, and power source covered in the "Technical Information" do not delve into technical details any more than in "General Information". They are only cited here.

1.1 Imaging element and CMOS sensor

Overview The CMOS sensor (Fig. 001) has been developed and manufactured by Canon. It boasts the highest performance in its class: Approx. 10.10 megapixels, ISO 100-1600 and H 3200, high-speed signal reading with 6.5 fps shooting, Live View silent shooting mode with electronic 1st-curtain shutter, etc.

Wide ISO speed range and low noise While based on the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL's CMOS sensor design and manufacturing technology, new processes were incorporated in the CMOS semiconductor fabrication and microlens-forming process. By improving the light-condensing eciency, the same ISO range and low noise (S/N ratio) as the EOS 30D were attained.

High-speed, 4-channel reading With 4-channel reading per line and faster reading (about twice as fast as EOS 30D), high-speed signal reading enabling approx. 6.5 fps continuous shooting is attained.

Electronic 1st-curtain shutter for Live View silent shooting With Live View image displayed, the camera can seamlessly shift to slit exposures with the electronic 1st-curtain shutter. It enables silent shooting which is not possible with a mechanical 1st-curtain shutter. This electronic 1st-curtain shutter uses a unique high-speed scanning and electronic reset system which accurately mimics the EOS 40D's high-speed mechanical shutter operation. It synchronizes with the mechanical 2nd-curtain shutter to obtain a slit exposure.

With CMOS, it is dicult to have an electronic 2nd-curtain shutter. Therefore, only the 1st-curtain shutter is electronic.

Power saving To minimize the higher power consumption required by the high-speed signal reading, the output amp's power consumption has been kept to an absolute minimum. Also, like the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, to save power during long exposures, power to the output amp is turned o and the standard current driving the circuit is also cut o. During Live View shooting, the power distribution for the signal-reading operation is optimized as with the EOS-1D Mark III. Such measures enable more minute power-saving control.

Infrared, low-pass lter The basic construction and performance of the infrared, low-pass lter are the same as the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL's. (Fig. 002)

1.2 Image-recording and processing

Compared with the EOS 30D, the EOS 40D's image quality is much improved as follows, thanks to the 10.10-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC III imaging engine (single), etc.

High image quality factors with the EOS 40D 1. Higher resolution with approx. 10.10 megapixels (CMOS sensor) 2. 14-bit signal processing for higher image quality (DIGIC III) 3. Noise reduction of high ISO shots (DIGIC III, C.Fn II-2) 4. Highlight tone priority (C.Fn II-3) For 2, see "Technical Information." For 3 and 4, see EOS-1D Mark III "Service Manual."

Image-recording quality and image size On the image-recording quality selection screen (Fig. 003), when you select the image-recording quality, the respective pixel count (horizontalvertical) and the number of shots possible with the current CF card are now displayed as well. Also, sRAW (approx. 2.50 megapixels) has been newly added as a image-recording quality option. sRAW+JPEG is also possible. For the image size and number of possible shots with the respective image-recording quality, see "General Information."

Picture Styles The Picture Styles and their eects, etc., are the same as with the EOS 30D. On the left of the power switch is the new Picture Style selection button. Next to it is the INFO. button which displays the parameter setting screen for the sharpness and other parameters. The buttons improve the ease of selecting and adjusting the Picture Styles (Fig. 004).

Noise reduction The camera has the same noise reduction feature (noise reduction for long exposures and high ISO shots) as the EOS-1D Mark III. For details, see EOS-1D Mark III "Service Manual."

Highlight tone priority (C.Fn II-3) This is the same feature as the EOS-1D Mark III's. The ISO range is ISO 200-1600. For details, see EOS-1D Mark III "Service Manual."

Auto brightness and contrast adjustment In the Basic Zone modes, when the image is processed internally, the brightness, contrast, and other image characteristics are detected and automatically adjusted to obtain favorable brightness and contrast. This is eective in the sample shots below:

Table 003 Sample adjustment of brightness and contrastUnderexposed AE Underexposed ash

* In bright scenes such as at the beach and on ski slopes, underexposure tends to result. The automatic adjustment makes the highlights brighter, resulting in a more natural-looking brightness.

* When the subject is beyond the range of the ash and becomes underexposed, the automatic adjustment makes the highlights brighter. This results in a standard ash exposure.

Low contrast

* In the case of low-contrast, hazy scenes, the contrast is adjusted to obtain a clearer and more distinct image.

Image recording to a CF card The CF card access speed is now 1.7 times faster, thanks to DIGIC III. With the EOS 30D, if you opened the CF card slot cover while data is being written to the CF card, the image data would be erased. However, with the EOS 40D (and EOS-1D Mark III), the data writing still continues even if you open the CF card slot cover. If you open the slot cover, the beeper will sound and a warning screen will be displayed (Fig. 005) until you close the slot cover. Also, if you turn o the power switch while data is being written to the CF card, the screen shown in Fig. 006 is displayed during the writing. When the writing ends, the camera turns o.

1.3 Dust delete feature

As with the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL and EOS-1D Mark III, the camera incorporates the EOS Integrated Cleaning System to help prevent dust generation, adhesion, and remaining.

Self Cleaning Sensor Unit While it is basically the same system as the one employed in the EOS-1D Mark III, the unit uses only one piezoelectric element instead of two, and it is optimized for the smaller APS-C size instead of the larger APS-H size (Fig. 007 and 008). The dust removal performance is the same as the EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL and EOS-1D Mark III's unit. The [Sensor cleaning] menu is basically the same as the EOS-1D Mark III's. However, there are slight dierences such as the shutter operation for [Clean now].

1.4 AF System

Newly-developed AF sensor With all cross-type sensors, improved AF detection precision, and extreme-defocus compatibility, the newly-developed AF sensor (Fig. 009) has much higher performance than the EOS 30D's AF sensor (Table 004). With the EOS 40D, the minute shifting the point of focus due to the dierence in the spectral characteristics of the light source is corrected automatically and more stable autofocusing is enabled. This feature is especially eective for articial light sources. The positioning of the AF points (Fig. 010) is almost the same as with the EOS 30D's AF sensor.

All cross-type AF points All the AF points have a cross-type line sensor for f/5.6. Both vertical- and horizontal-line sensitive focus detection works with any AF point for stable focusing.

Improved AF detection precision (Fig. 011) Cross-type focusing at f/2.8 Previously, the sensor for f/2.8 was only vertical-

line sensitive. But now, for the rst time, it is both vertical- and horizontal-line sensitive. The focusing is thereby more sensitive. Also, with the sensor pitch made smaller from 16 m to 14.4 m, the detection performance is higher.

Excluding the EF50mm f/2.5 MACRO and EF28-80mm f/2.8-4L USM lenses.

Two-line focusing with horizontal-line sensitive sensors The upper center, center, and bottom three

horizontal-line sensitive sensors are in a two-line, zigzag conguration. With this double focusing system, inconsistent focusing detection is reduced.

Extreme defocus compatibility By using the entire two-line focusing sensors described above, a subject in extreme defocus can be detected and AF control is quick and easy. (Fig. 011)

AF unit To attain more stable AF performance than before, the AF unit has more precise AF optics and environment-resistant construction and materials. (Fig. 012)

AF speed and focusing calculation Compared to the EOS 30D, the focusing calculation speed is 1.3 times faster, and the AF data-processing time is shorter. Despite the AF sensor's number of lines and the higher number of pixels, AI SERVO AF at approx. 6.5 fps is attained.

AF modes The AF modes are the same as the EOS 30D: One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, and AI SERVO AF.

AI SERVO AF Predictive AF can track a subject approaching at 50 kph up to about 8 m/26.2 ft away with an EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. Since subject detection has been improved with all cross-type AF points, high-speed continuous shooting in the AI SERVO AF mode is more stable than with the EOS 30D.

Automatic AF point selection The algorithm is the same as the EOS 30D's. However, with all AF points being cross-type sensors, the subject detection is improved, making the AI SERVO AF subject-tracking performance better. Also in the One-Shot AF mode, it increases the probability of capturing the subject as intended.

AF-assist beam The AF-assist beam is a series of ashes. The eective range is approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet at the center AF point and approx. 3.5 meters/11.5 feet at the eight o-center AF points.
